Anyone who has ever challenged the police's tactics risks encountering the "Code of Silence"that many advocates say pervades the department. Under the code, Chicago attorney Flint Taylor explained, officers close ranks around one another and provide alibis, corroborate one another's stories or simply stay quiet.
In 2012, a petite Chicago bartender named Karolina Obrycka tried to put that very code on trial. Five years earlier, she had refused to pour another drink for Anthony Abbate, an over-served off-duty cop who had come to her bar intoxicated before.
Surveillance video captured the 250-pound cop throwing the 125-pound bartender against the wall, punching her in the face, kicking her and allegedly yelling, "nobody tells me what to do."
Abbate later claimed self-defense.
And we're fearful of muslim children and old people?
